Major-General McCOOK,
Commanding Twentieth Army Corps:
Your dispatch of 1.30 p. m. is received. The general commanding
directs you to move Generals Negley and Sheridan this way. Send
a brigade to relieve Crittenden and hold Gordon's Mills. Perhaps
Sheridan may be spared to move up that way and be ready for
emergencies. Send the forces that you are to spare to General
Thomas at once.

Major-General McCOOK,

The tide of battle sweeps to the right. The general commanding
thinks you can now move the two brigades of Sheridan's up to this
place. Leave the one brigade posted at Gordon's Mills, to be used
there or this way, as circumstances may require. If the right is
secure, come forward and direct your forces now fighting.

Major-General THOMAS,
Commanding Fourteenth Army Corps:
The tide of battle sweeps to the right, and the center is heavily
engaged. Crittenden is doing finely on the right. Your dispatch
of 3 p. m. is just received when the above was written. All goes
well. Save every available man for reserves who is not needed for
work now. If your left is not likely to be threatened soon throw
some forces in rear of your center as reserves. Communicate with
Granger. Push the enemy.
